Why was labor more expensive?
- delusional 2y agoOnly thing I could imagine was extra hands to deal with the weight.
- bgnn 2y agoDon't they use machinery to carry the windows? Even double pane gets heavy. The windows of the sliding doors I've recently got replaced were like 200kg each.
- forgetfreeman 2y agoIt is exceptionally rare for a contractor to have equipment to move literally anything that takes less than four laborers to move by hand.
- bgnn 2y agoNot here in the Netherlands. By law anything heavier than 23kg should be carried by a machine. In principle one can carry something heavier, but then there needs to be a written plan etc. It's very common to carry stuff with a small crane. If it needs to be carried to thd back of the house which is not accessible, they set up a bigger crane.
- forgetfreeman 2y agoI bet y'all have comprehensive workers compensation coverage and good healthcare too. Half the contractors around here lie about carrying a personal injury policy and several I've worked for had a standing policy where if you fell off a roof, scaffold, or ladder it was understood that you were fired before you hit the ground.
